Music Appreciation

Music Appreciation

The Klein ISD Music
Appreciation Volunteer Program’s objective is to provide through
volunteers and invited guest performers, an enrichment program in music
appreciation for the elementary school children of the district, so that
students may increase their understanding of and love for music. Any
interested volunteer may inquire and participate. Many campuses have a
music appreciation volunteer coordinator to help organize the local
school program. There is also a volunteer district music coordinator who
works to help coordinate the various school programs.

The
Klein Music Appreciation Program through volunteers, recruited within
each school, offers grade appropriate programs which introduce the
instruments of the orchestra. Also offered is a Pre-K–3rd Grade
forty-five minute puppet show “The Musical Kid” which, with the
assistance of an enthusiastic young puppet, introduces the families and
instruments of the orchestra to the students. This is an upbeat puppet
presentation requiring a narrating volunteer, volunteers for six puppets
and someone to run the CD player. The same script is available in
Spanish. There is also a Spanish CD which contains the entire script
already preformed; volunteers are needed to work the puppets, and
someone to run the CD player.
